USWNT star Alex Morgan met up with Barcelona superstar Andres Iniesta earlier this week, and the two shared a warm kiss together, on the cheek though (the 26-year-old beauty is happily married).
The two crossed paths in Pasadena, as the Blaugrana geared up to face MLS giants LA Galaxy in the 2015 International Champions Cup pre-season tournament.
Morgan, a star in this year’s Women’s World Cup in Canada, has enjoyed a tremendous season. After beating Japan 5-2 in the final to be crowned world champions, the Portland Thorns ace became the first female footballer in history to grace the successful video game franchise FIFA’s cover.
Making the 2016 edition, Morgan featured alongside four-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, whom she is a great fan of.
And she also caught up with her favorite team in the world, the Blaugrana. Speaking about her fondness of the Catalan giants, Morgan spoke highly of the Liga BBVA champions’ intricate team-work and envied style of play, saying:
“You can tell that team-work is such a vital part of the game. Knowing each other’s strengths and covering each other. Making sure you are playing as a team and making your team-mates look good. That’s what I saw tonight. Obviously every single player has great skill, but they play together and no player necessarily stands out … I think that’s great to see even at the very highest level.”
Of course, Barcelona’s mesmerizing team play saw them clinch the treble last campaign, as Luis Enrique’s side aim to add three more trophies to claim the sextuplet.
